This page details one or more prototype versions of Genshin Impact.

So very stubbly.
This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

There are numerous beta builds of Genshin Impact floating around on the 'net. As of writing, most of them are still available on the websites that miHoYo uses to provide game clients and resources, or other mirrors.

  • autopatchhk.yuanshen.com: Used for public beta and release versions for Global game.
  • autopatchcn.yuanshen.com: Used for public beta and release versions for Chinese game.
  • autopatchhktx.yuanshen.com: Used for private beta, dev, and other test versions for Global game.
  • autopatchcntx.yuanshen.com: Used for private beta, dev, and other test versions for Chinese game.

Development of new game versions starts on dev branch, which contains debugging features. Afterwards, the most stable revision is transferred to rel branch (release candidate) with less debug functionality, and finally to the live branch, which lacks debugging altogether.

As of February 2023, many of the original server binaries up to version 3.2 have leaked, allowing these older versions to be playable nearly 1:1 to their original runs. Server emulators also exist for some versions.

Hmmm...
To do:
These YouTube channels have archived almost all the music from beta versions, and other content such as videos.
